David, I did understand your question. I have StarTool now so I cannot verify the 8.5 PDS mechanism, but it's now subcommand FIXPDS. If that is missing in 8.5, I apologize.

I think you are misunderstanding my request. I don't want to add space to the dataset, I want to change the secondary space allocation from nothing(or something small) to something realistic, so that when space is needed, it gets more than just 1 track(we have many app datasets where secondary space is set to 1 TRK). John Kalinch hit the nail on the head with the CBT CDSCB program. Unless I am missing something, I don't see that function in PDS. If it does, please give me a sample command line command that will do it. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Skip Robinson Sent: Monday, August 13, 2012 1:53 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: modifying secondary space allocation The fully supported program product StarTool can modify secondary space of any PDS, allocated or not. Its ancestor, the PDS Command--available on CBT--has performed this function for decades. I've never heard of a failure. Note that modifying secondary space does not touch the allocation at all, only the external data set attributes. The next time space is needed, the system will add a secondary extent as needed. Be careful though: some PDS uses may not allow expansion. In particular, link list data sets will not see a new extent automatically. JES2 proclibs may require a close/open sequence--not a JES2 restart--to pick up an additional extent. . .
